The Cowboys are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games in October however, are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Rainbow Warriors are 14-36-1 ATS in their last 51 conference games and 5-20-1 ATS n their last 26 home games.

Wyoming was expected to take a step back this season after losing Josh Allen, however, the Cowboys have really struggled this season as they barley defeated the FCS Wofford Terriers and have lost by at least 20 points to Washington State, Missouri, and Boise State. Wyoming has a decent running game, however, they just haven’t been able to put points up on the board as they currently rank just 122nd in scoring offense. Hawai’i had a much more difficult time taking care of San Jose State than I expected, however, it’s been a great start for the Rainbow Warriors led by their passing attack that ranks 6th in the country. Wyoming’s defense has had trouble agianst solid passing attacks this season and as I think Hawai’i at home will be able to put up some points, I’m taking the Rainbow Warriors to cover this small spread.
